Lady Bird

Funny, touch­ing com­ing-ofage story about a Sacra­mento high school se­nior (Saoirse Ro­nan) who quar­rels with her mother (Laurie Met­calf) about her de­ter­mi­na­tion to leave Cal­i­for­nia for a more so­phis­ti­cated life at an East­ern col­lege. Writ­ten and di­rected with great af­fec­tion, wis­dom and skill by Greta Ger­wig. (1:33) R
